Henry Cavill
That's right, Henry Cavill has finally joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe and in doing so he's become only the third actor in movie history to play this particular hero on-screen.
The first two were Hugh Jackman and Troye Sivan, so we're sure you guessed who he played by now...
That's right, Cavill took a turn as Wolverine himself in a seconds-long cameo that was part of a larger montage of different versions of the character.
It also included a 'short king' version, played by Jackman and shrunken down to about 5ft tall with CGI.
Wolverine fans have previously called for Cavill to be cast as the buff hero if Jackman ever decided to retire from the role, but with the success of Deadpool & Wolverine, we doubt that will happen any time soon.
Channing Tatum
Channing Tatum also joined the MCU in this film and his cameo was considered by many fans to be a long time coming – even though it meant one of Reynolds' former co-stars didn't get to be in the flick.
So who did he play in Deadpool & Wolverine?
Tatum took over the role of the mutant Gambit, which was originally given to Friday Night Lights star Taylor Kitsch in the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the same film where Reynolds portrayed a version of Deadpool for the first time.
But Tatum wasn't simply subbed in for giggles.
He was actually slated to play Gambit in a standalone film all about the character which was reportedly set to release in 2014, but it was cancelled before it could ever amount to anything.
...Snipes returned as Blade, a lesser-know but just as cool vampire-hunting superhero from the Marvel comics.
He first played the character in the movie Blade back in 1998, and though the CGI hasn't really held up, the first film performed well enough to inspire two sequels, Blade II (2002) and Blade: Trinity (2004).
And wouldn't you know it, none other than Ryan Reynolds nabbed himself a supporting role in the third flick. Perhaps that connection was how he convinced Snipes to return.
Blake Lively
There are perks to being married to one of the most stunning women in Hollywood, and we're not just talking about the fact that Reynolds gets to bring wife Blake Lively as his date to just about every red carpet event.
He also clearly convinced Lively to join the fun on the set of Deadpool & Wolverine and suit up for a very special cameo...
Lively played Lady Deadpool in the flick, which was confirmed in both the credits that play at the end of the film and on IMDb, where's she's listed near the bottom of the cast list.
And it turns out she wasn't the only member of the Lively-Reynolds family to make a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Eagle-eyed viewers noticed another familiar name as the credits rolled: Inez Reynolds.
Lively and Ryan's seven-year-old daughter made a tiny cameo as the character 'Kidpool' (kid Deadpool) and her short lines included some serious language for a kid who hasn't even hit double digits.
Chris Evans
These days, Chris Evans is probably best known for his contribution to the early stages of the MCU as Captain America.
He played the role for years before finally passing the baton (or should we say shield?) on to Anthony Mackie, who now plays his own version of the star-spangled man with a plan.
But before he was Steve Rogers, Evans was...
... Johnny Storm, AKA the Human Torch in the original Fantastic Four movies.
It was his first outing as a superhero and given how much he loved it, it's no surprise Evans reprised the role for a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.
"I was 23 when I did the first one, and it was my first bigger studio film," he recently told Entertainment Weekly.
"I had done a couple movies at that point, but nothing at that level. These careers are little milestones, little corners that you round. Doing that movie, you turn a corner and it just feels like it brought me to the next level of my career."
